What works today

Wilson behind the grille of the 2nd Amendment counter

livelr_gear_shops

Wilson's counter

The real Wilson behind the 2nd Amendment grille. A buy screen, a gun licence, and a pin on everyone's map.

The catalogue admin screen: weapons with their RED class and price

livelr_gear · lr_gear_admin

RED prices, house rules

Every gun sits in its RED Price Category. Admins retune prices and what each counter sells on an in-game screen, live.

The mods tab: a CS-1 Taipan silencer with its price

livelr_gear

Weapon mods

Silencers, scopes and other parts at Wilson's, boxed into your pockets. Use one and it fits the gun in your hands.

livelr_opfor

Gangs fight back

Gang squads hold their hangouts. Bots wear RED armor that wears down hit by hit, their shots are priced with RED dice, and the crowd panics when the shooting starts.

liveadmin/prop_editor

Prop editor · server tool

Place, move and save world props in game, with icons rendered from the game's own meshes. Not part of Light Red, but it builds the world Light Red runs in.

For server owners

Light Red is a set of OPEN//77 resources on top of Open2077's roleplay pack. It isn't packaged for other servers yet: today it runs here, and a Workshop bundle is on the roadmap. This is what you would be getting.

Module	Runs on	What it does
`lr_gear`	server	Gear core: catalogue at RED Price Categories, channels, weapon parts, house rules
`lr_gear_shops`	server, client, page	Wilson at the 2nd Amendment counter: buy screen, licence, map pin
`lr_gear_admin`	server, client, page	House-rules screen for admins (`/redgear.admin`)
`lr_health`	server	RED Hit Points, Wound States, Critical Injuries, Death Saves, `/stabilize`
`lr_opfor`	server, client	Gang squads, hangouts and bots; bot hits priced by lr_health when it runs

Designed, not built yet: lr_jobs (player-run businesses), lr_hud (health and weapon HUD), lr_scan (Tab scanner), lr_gear_board (Wilson's price board).

What it needs

Platform: open77_weapons, open77_interactions, open77_worldui (manifest dependencies), op77_map3d (pins), open77_pedestrians with its panicAt export (a local patch here, f63c0eb; without it lr_opfor's fights cause no crowd panic).
RP pack: rp_inventory (part boxes, ammo), rp_economy (payments into the society 2nd_amendment), rp_shops' licence table rp_shops_licences (one gun licence for both counters).
rp_trauma must NOT run: lr_health handles every down, and the two would fight over it.
The freeroam gamemode's respawn (a failed Death Save ends in a real death and freeroam's respawn).

How it's built

Rules modules (lr_gear, lr_health) are server-only and restart without touching anyone. Modules with an NPC or a page call them at use time, guarded, and declare no manifest dependency on them, so a rules change never respawns Wilson or closes a screen. Each module still runs on its own: lr_opfor falls back to its flat price without lr_health, lr_health uses its own class table without lr_gear.

Here it loads as its own category in server.jsonc:

// server.jsonc, resources
"standalone/*",
"light_red/*",
